Hello SE VMF'ers. I am looking for a mechanic in the Raleigh area that I can trust with my '68 GT. Any recommendations? I know a couple of very good shops but they are less than enthusiastic to work on a car this old.
Thanks.

I have used Boyce McCaskill off of Capital Boulevard with a 68 fastback I used to have. He is definitely not used to older cars, but he has always done a good job for me. 878-6116 on Hobby Court.

I see you're in Wake Forest too. I've taken my 65' coupe to John at John's Garage (919)556-3459. He's at the intersection of Hwy 98 and Hwy 96. Feels like you are out in the country but only minutes from downtown Wake Forest. John's a great, honest guy. Just be forewarned, he doesn't do anything in a hurry. It's taken a couple days to get around to aligning my car but well worth the wait. He definately knows old cars though. His shop usually has several old hot rods sitting around.
